Jason Momoa gained rising popularity after being cast as Daenerys husband, Khal Drogo, in HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Although he’s an actor and producer, he’s done modeling in the past.

His look is pretty unique and his ethnicity consists of Hawaiian, German, Irish, and Native American. He is married to actress Lisa Bonet, who used to play Denise on “The Cosby Show.”

He now has an upcoming role in a couple new DC Comic movies as Aqua Man.

When he appeared as a regular on the show Stargate Atlantis several years ago, there was a little bit of a kurfuful over his locs (which he no longer rocks). Producers were skeptical about casting him at first because of his locs. However, they cast him, and his locs received a positive response.

He later cut them off because they had become too heavy for him. Producers convinced him to reattach his locs (which were still too heavy) then wear a loc wig for the remainder of his time on the show.

I loved his locs and feel they offset his unique — and undeniably handsome — look perfectly.

Lauryn Hill is a singer/rapper, producer, and actress. She is American, of Haitian descent. I first laid eyes on her when her — then — rap group, The Fugees, released their first mainstream music video “Fu-gee-la” in 1996.

She soon went solo and started creating music that could be classified as “neo soul”. At the 41st Grammy Awards, she won 5 Grammys.

I’ve always adored Lauryn. She’s beautiful, has an incredible voice, writes lyrics with substance and translates this sense of substance into speeches that inspire others to find the same.

Her freeform locs, which she no longer rocks, represented love of her culture (to me) and offset her beautiful face perfectly.

She was definitely one of my loc idols and continues to serve as inspiration to me today.
